Harvard Prof delivers guest lectures to Compass students
We’re are delighted to welcome Pierre Jacob, Associate Professor of Statistics at Harvard University, to the University of Bristol in March.
Pierre will be delivering lectures for the COMPASS CDT students but all staff in the School of Maths are welcome to attend.
